That report also cites a 911 call authorities released this week that had prompted police to come to the 5900 block of Mansion Avenue around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.

"My boyfriend is, like, trying to get him to wake up," the mother said. Her name has not been released. She said the boy's chest was turning color."

"He has vomit coming out his nose and mouth," the mother said on the call. "Can you please hurry up?"

Tricoche told the judge he had a public defender, but the lawyer wasn't with him at the arraignment.

The child's death comes nearly two months after Michael Disporto, 22, of Manahawkin, was arrested and charged with the sexual assault and murder of 2-year-old baby Ariana of Gloucester City. Disporto is the boyfriend of Ariana's mother, Amber Bobo, 26, according to authorities.

Bobo, 26, was charged with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities say after Disporto raped the baby — causing injuries that led to her death — he repeatedly talked Bobo out of seeking medical help for fear they'd be blamed for the injuries.
